The Old Gate - Calderdale

Tan, Tom, Kate and Isaac looked after us well. Lovely drinks and bar nibbles, and a bowl of water for the dog! Lovely chilled atmosphere

Had a great meal last night . Seafood crumpet followed by Chicken and brownie for pudding. It was really good food and well presented. The staff were friendly and professional. I would certainly recommend this restaurant/pub to others.

Pub is absolutely fantastic, great selection of beers and great staff. The one problem unfortunately was the rude brunette waitress in her late 40’s navy blue blouse who looks like a supervisor, she rudely approached my table and sourly and abruptly told me I wasn’t allowed to play videos on my phone within 0.2 seconds! Found it really uncomfortable and embarrassing, a softer approach would have been more humane. Hopefully she has just had a long shift but judging by the footfall in the establishment at the time, it’s clearly an attitude problem.

I particularly liked the separate no dog area upstairs, as I understand that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. During this visit, we sat outside in the sun, enjoying drinks and playing cards in the afternoon. Later, we moved inside for dinner. We enjoyed the relaxed and social atmosphere, and appreciated that the staff did not rush us to leave our table. Many others were also enjoying drinks in the beer garden without ordering food. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. There was a variety of seating options, including benches and tables outside with electric heaters, as well as some sofa seating inside. The food was excellent; we started with the bar nibbles (3 for £16) in the afternoon, followed by a special seafood dish and the steak pie. Everything was delicious and we could not fault it. We would definitely recommend The Old Gate, as it caters to everyone.

This is a lovely pub to visit. We went for a late breakfast and I can honestly say they cook the best eggs Benedict I have ever tasted. All of the staff are friendly and helpful and the pub itself has a very relaxed atmosphere.
